I think the trailer hitch MAKES that picture. And the perfect sky background.

 

Finally got around to installing my new shift and parking brake boots.

Got them from MINI Cooper 2001-06 shift boot - RedlineGoods leather shift boot store and so far I am really pleased with the feel and look.

Shift boot was a straight swap, but the parking brake boot was a bit more involved as the oem one was glued on as well as using some tabs. I used some CA glue to attach it to the frame. Also had to do a tiny bit of snipping to get the new one fitted like I wanted.

If not for the very minor modding of the parking brake boot I would have given these a solid 5/5.

 

I took Pepper and went to the 'Cars and Coffee' in Cincinnati, Oh. I was flabbergasted...

When I pulled in, I saw the Lamborghini. and then all the Porsches...

And when the Lotus showed up...I was impressed.

And when my dream car showed up, an original Sunbeam Tiger, I had an orga........ .

BUT THEN, when the original Auburn Speedster pulled in, I knew what true LUST was.

AND THEN... AND THEN... A 1966 restored MOKE showed up...

What can I say...

 

Those headlights look familiar....

 

Added some bling to easily discern my two fobs.

Some might say there are better ways to make a cute redhead scream, but hey, to each his own! :devil: Who am I to judge? :drool:lol:

 

Don't you mean "kilometerage kilometerstone?"

 

My wonderful wife pulled it into the garage while I was snoring after a hard day.

 

About a half hour ago, I made the Rat's new friend a permanent one! [emoji12]

Its going to be a long slow restoration build, but will be worth the time and money when done!

I pretty much stole it, you can't find an FC RX-7 original turbo in this shape for less than $7K anymore especially when this one already has over $10K into the pistonless engine under the hood! I payed way less than that! [emoji6]

 

Let Sömmerdämmerung have a rain-bath today. First in a few months (as my neighbor's lawn will attest).

 

Happy anniversary Stefanie I wish you at least 50 more.

Better start fueling up at Shell.

 

It's called tilt-shift photography. Very cool effect. Do a search for some really amazing pictures.

 

Sutter Creek!!! Geeze, what a small world. I used to spend my summers up in that part of the Gold Country. My Aunt and Uncle used to own the Sutter Creek Beer Garden, and they owened half of the town of Amador City... I polished my first fire engine in that little town. What great family memories!

 

New StopTech slotted rotors and CarboTech XP8s for the rear.

 

Today I did with my MINI... absolutely nothing.
But I did drive my BMW to VIR, and drove some healthy "parade" laps during lunch break. Watched Mark Dissen drive the pants off his Lotus Evora the rest of the day.

 

I buffed out the Porker...
